Technical Deep Dive
Integrated Measurement Architecture
Features "Multi-Domain Acquisition Core + Expandable Instrumentation" design: Single timebase synchronizes analog (1GHz BW), digital (16 channels), and RF (3GHz SA) measurements with <1ns skew (Source: Input description). 10Mpoint memory captures long signal sequences for protocol decoding. Patented measurement system performs calculations on raw acquisition data (not interpolated display data), ensuring ±1% voltage accuracy. Modular architecture allows adding function generator (50MHz AWG), protocol analyzer (I2C/SPI/UART), and DVM without external instruments.
| Technical Dimension | MDO3000 | Traditional Setup | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Measurement Integrity | Calculations on raw acquisition data | Many instruments use interpolated display data | Guaranteed specifications, eliminates measurement artifacts |
| Workflow Efficiency | 6 instruments in 1 unit | Requires 3-4 separate instruments | Reduces bench space by 70%, eliminates inter-instrument sync issues |
IoT Device Debugging Workflow
Connection: Analog probes to sensor outputs, digital probes to MCU GPIOs, RF input to antenna trace
Configuration:
- Analog: 1GHz bandwidth for sensor signal integrity
- Digital: Decode SPI bus between MCU and wireless module
- RF: Spectrum analyzer mode to capture BLE transmissionsTriggering: Set protocol trigger on specific SPI command (e.g., "BLE transmit command")
Analysis:
- Correlate sensor analog output with digital control signals
- Verify RF spectrum compliance during transmission
- Measure latency from command to RF transmission
Bandwidth Limitation
Simultaneous operation of all instruments reduces analog bandwidth to 500MHz (Based on system architecture). Mitigation: ① Prioritize critical measurements; ② For full 1GHz analog bandwidth, disable unused instrument modules.
